“You want to touch my woman?”


  Ji Ziming’s eyes were cold as he looked at Gu Zhengrong with killing intent. He wished he could tear Gu Zhengrong apart right now. His eyes were like fire as he looked at Gu Zhengrong’s hand that was grabbing Pei Ge’s hand. His voice became even harsher. “Gu Zhengrong, if you don’t want to become a cripple, quickly remove your hand. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee what I will do.”


  “Ji Ziming, don’t think that she’s yours just because you and Ge Ge have three children. She doesn’t belong to you. Even if she doesn’t belong to me, she can’t only belong to you.”


  Gu Zhengrong refused to let go. In his dream, he clearly remembered the feeling of holding Pei Ge’s arm. Only he knew why he had missed her for so long. To not let Pei Ge return to Ji Ziming, to make Tang Xiaoyu give up, and to let Ji Ziming understand that Pei Ge never belonged to anyone.

  “Looks like you want to be a cripple.”


  Ji Ziming looked at Gu Zhengrong with pity. He could not understand how this man could be so fearless. How could a woman be so brave as to stay with him?

  However, Gu Zhengrong neglected one thing. It was best not to think about things that were not his.

  “Bodyguards, I want his arm.”


  At Ji Ziming’s order, the bodyguards standing by his side rushed forward with knives in their hands. Gu Zhengrong saw the fear in his eyes through the knife blades.

  Just as the bodyguard was about to take action, Gu Zhengrong quickly let go of Pei Ge’s arm.

  “Ge Ge, don’t go with Ji Ziming. I love you. I really love you.”


  Seeing that Pei Ge was getting further and further away from him, Gu Zhengrong felt a sharp pain in his heart. The clear pain made him look at Pei Ge with even more reluctance.

  “Oh, since you said you love me, why did you let go of my hand? Do you love me that much?”


  Pei Ge’s lips curled up as a sinister smile flashed across her eyes. She looked at Gu Zhengrong even more brightly. “Gu Zhengrong, do you love me that much? I really can’t accept this kind of love.”


  Gu Zhengrong had nothing to say. He also did not know why he chose to let go. He clearly chose to persevere, but in reality, he saw himself letting go of Pei Ge’s hand because Ji Ziming wanted to cut off his arm.

  “Ge Ge, believe me. I didn’t do it on purpose. It was because Ji Ziming wanted to……”


  “I wanted to cut off your hand, right? Don’t say that I look down on you. Open your eyes and see what my bodyguard is holding.”


  Ji Ziming’s gaze shifted from Gu Zhengrong to the bodyguard beside him.

  The bodyguard was holding a silver laptop. The knife light that Gu Zhengrong saw earlier was merely a reflection of the silver laptop.

  “This…… how is this possible? It’s clearly a blade. You said you wanted to cut off my hand.”


  Gu Zhengrong’s eyes were filled with fear. How could he have seen wrongly? He clearly saw a knife and his face in the knife light, but now, he saw a silver laptop. How could it not be?

  “Gu Zhengrong, did you realize that when I said earlier that I wanted to chop off your hand, you were the one who wanted to let go of Pei Ge’s hand. This is your choice, what does it have to do with me?”


  The corners of Ji Ziming’s lips curled up as a wicked smile flashed across his eyes. His gaze on Gu Zhengrong became even colder. “Do you know what kind of person you are?”


  “Ji Ziming, do you think that Pei Ge will really leave with you just because you did this? If you have the ability, then compete with me properly. Are you even a man like this?”


  “Are you asking me if I’m a man?”


  Ji Ziming laughed and his cold aura suddenly surrounded Gu Zhengrong. Was this self-righteous man considered a man?

  “That’s right. A man like you can’t even be considered a man. We need to solve the problem in a man’s way. You were just threatening me earlier. Perhaps, I’ll really be intimidated. Perhaps, I’ll really agree to you taking Pei Ge away today. Or perhaps, I really care about her so much that I almost forget who I am.”


  “You didn’t almost forget who you are because you are concerned with Pei Ge, you don’t even remember who you are.”


  Ji Ziming pointed out the hypocrisy in Gu Zhengrong’s words.

  “Ji Ziming, you!”


  Gu Zhengrong was speechless. Ji Ziming was neither prepared to fight with him nor did he really want to cut off his other hand.

  “What about me? I don’t bully the weak. I’m warning you. Stay away from Ge Ge from now on. She won’t fall for a man like you who isn’t considered a man.”


  Ji Ziming curled his lips and narrowed his eyes. The mockery in his eyes made Gu Zhengrong unhappy.

  “Ji Ziming, I think you don’t dare to fight with me. If you dare, you don’t have to waste so much breath. If you dare, you won’t care what I say. If you dare……”


  Before Gu Zhengrong could finish his words, Ji Ziming kicked him down. Gu Zhengrong’s face contorted in pain as his stomach churned.

  Although there were no scars on the surface, his internal part of her stomach hurt and he could not wait to go to the hospital for a checkup.

  “Ji Ziming…… You…… You!”


  Gu Zhengrong was furious. Before he could prepare himself, he was kicked five meters away by Ji Ziming.

  “How is it? Is this kick manly enough?”


  Ji Ziming hugged Pei Ge with one hand and took the silver laptop from the bodyguard with the other hand.

  Pei Ge, who was in Ji Ziming’s embrace, had a calm expression as she looked at Gu Zhengrong’s pain. Her eyes did not waver as though she was watching a clown’s performance.

  “Ji Ziming, I’ll make you regret it!”


  A sharp pain assaulted him and he suddenly opened his eyes. The pain in his stomach was caused by a heavy book falling from the bookshelf beside him, right in the middle of his stomach.

  Pei Ge in the dream was too cold, and the Pei Ge in the real world was around the same. Indeed, everything in the dream was from the real world.

  “Why is this book…… here?”


  Gu Zhengrong picked up the book. It was actually the book that Pei Ge had sent him when he was in university. It spanned across two countries.
